What to do if your cat doesn't eat cat grass?

If your cat refuses to eat cat grass, you can try mixing it with other foods to encourage them to consume it during mealtime. If your cat still refuses to eat cat grass even after mixing it with other foods, you can substitute it with other coarse fiber foods to help remove hairballs. If your cat simply dislikes the taste of cat grass and refuses to eat vegetables or fruits, you can use a hair removal gel instead. Additionally, you can help your cat groom itself by brushing and stroking its fur regularly.

  1. Mix cat grass with other foods

If your cat isn't eating cat grass willingly, you can try cutting it into small pieces and mixing it with canned food, fish, or other meals. This way, your cat can consume cat grass while eating. However, be cautious when collecting cat grass outdoors, as it may lead to poisoning. It's better to buy cat grass seeds and grow them at home to ensure freshness and safety.

  1. Feed coarse fiber foods

If your cat refuses to eat cat grass even after mixing it with other foods, you can substitute it with other coarse fiber foods like pumpkin, broccoli, apples, and other vegetables and fruits. These foods contain rough fibers that can help remove hairballs and promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial for digestion. However, don't overfeed your cat with these foods to avoid indigestion.

  1. Use a hair removal gel

If your cat hates the taste of cat grass and refuses to eat vegetables and fruits, you can use a hair removal gel as an alternative. Although the ingredients differ, the effect is similar. When purchasing a hair removal gel, make sure to buy it from a reputable channel, pet hospital, or pet clinic to ensure product safety.
